Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP74692) and 4 other sources
In the vast and ever-moving borough of the Bronx, New York, the late autumn days of 2018 were drawing to a close. For 51-year-old Samuel Cimino, November 26th of that year marked an ordinary day that would tragically become the last time he was seen. A man of Hispanic and White/Caucasian descent, Samuel stood at a height of five feet six inches and weighed around 155 pounds. With graying hair and brown eyes, his physical presence was a familiar part of his community. His disappearance from the 10466 zip code area of the Bronx left an irreplaceable void and a silence that has yet to be broken, launching a search that has stretched from days into years.

The specific circumstances surrounding the day Samuel Cimino vanished remain shrouded in uncertainty. All that is known from the official reports is that he was last seen wearing blue pants. No further details about his activities on that day, his state of mind, or any potential destinations have been made public. The New York City Police Department's Missing Persons Squad took on the case, opening an investigation into the sudden and perplexing absence of a member of their community. The lack of readily available public information about the events leading up to his disappearance has made the search for answers all the more challenging for those who knew him and the investigators assigned to his case.

Years have passed since Samuel Cimino was last seen, and his case remains an open and painful question for his family and community. Without any clear indication of what might have happened, the search for him continues, driven by the hope that someone, somewhere, might have information that could shed light on his whereabouts. The investigation relies on the possibility that a small, seemingly insignificant detail could be the key to understanding the events of that late November day. The overview of this case is one of profound and sorrowful mystery; a man vanished from a bustling city, leaving behind only the most basic details and an enduring silence that his loved ones long to have filled with answers.
